He has reported to me, all the way from a software development engineer to the Senior Director of Software Development, where he owned the company’s most critical development projects. Stephen is a very talented and experienced manager, leader, and senior software engineer that knows how to organize teams to create and release high-quality, low-maintenance products to market.

All phases along the way adhering to best practices ensuring quality and robust predictability. He is truly customer obsessed – he listens to the feedback coming from the field to ensure that his products are easily supported, and the end user never has issues. Stephen is pragmatic - he excels at releasing in an agile fashion knowing that the product will be fine-tuned after each iterative release producing a more customer centric product over time. His pragmatism especially shines in his designs and implementation. While many architects and designers will over-design, his experience helps him to focus to what is truly needed and will be used. When it comes to being a leader, Stephen is on the front line leading by example. He does not see his team as resources, rather as people to be respected and given opportunities to grow. As a manager, he is on top of all aspects of each project working across teams to ensure ongoing success. And as an engineer, he keeps his blade sharp and not only helps his team coding and reviewing code but also ensures the architecture of each product is sound.", and "It's rare that you come across incredible talent like Stephen.
